A familar friend returns: A Black-crowned Night Heron
I know it's not our best black-crowned night heron photo, but we are happy to see an old friend return. Yesterday morning, he returned to the same tree and branch where he spent last spring and summer. He has his breeding plumage: two white feathers that look like a pony tail. We hope his mate joins him soon.
